ABSTRACT
In this article, the mathematical model for traffic
management in MPLS network is proposed. This model
explains the processes of routing and distributing
channel resources. Furthermore the method of two-level
traffic management in the MPLS network is offered in
order to improve the scalability of the solutions, on the
basis of the goal coordination method.
Keywords: MPLS, routing, QoS, NGN
INTRODUCTION
MPLS technology (Multiprotocol Label
Switching) is currently considered as the main
transport platform for modern telecommunication
systems [1, 2]. During development, previous
experiences of transport technologies such as IP
(Internet Protocol) and ATM (Asynchronous
Transfer Mode) were considered. That’s why a
combination of IP-routing principles and high
speed ATM-switching was implemented in MPLS
technology. As a result, MPLS uses virtual
connections with source-based routing,
that significantly expands the capabilities of the
quality of service (QoS) support in this technology.
However, along with the advantages, MPLS has a
number of disadvantages that are specific to
traditional routing technologies.
First of all, there are routing problems of
scalability in the case of territorial distribution of
the telecommunication system, increase of network
nodes number and their consistency, permanent
user traffic growth and the expansion of QoS
parameters list.
Analysis has shown [3, 4] that the main way to
improve existing and emerging routing protocols, is
to reevaluate the routing mathematical models and
methods, which are primarily associated with the
transition to the flow-based models. Flow-based
models, compared to graph-based, take into account
structural and functional parameters of
telecommunication systems and the traffic
characteristics. In order to improve scalability of
flow-based models, effective solutions are
based on the principles of multi-level (hierarchical)
routing [5, 6] that is traditionally used. Due to
this, current papers introduced the routing
mathematical model that follows the multi-level
flow-based routing models class, and adapted to the
features of MPLS-network’s engineering and
functions.
STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION OF MPLS-

be divided into two subsets:
